Suzies at Brad Lackey's Nor-Cal Classic
« on: March 18, 2008, 07:14:57 am »
Brad Lackey promoted an AHRMA MX National over the weekend and there were some really nice Suzukis there.  What the people on the far left are looking at is Brad's ride for 2008.

polished within an inch of its life ?  414 you would be into all that bling.

Was this the meeting that he put on to honour Dick "Bugsy" mann ?  If so where are all the other pics , like the Beeza or what ever it was that rod lake has   :o

You know I admired all of the Dick Mann Specials, but didn't have my camera with me at the time.  :(

That looks like Sandhill Ranch T Red? I went to my first ever vintage race there back in 1986. Dick Mann looked after me so well, supplying a CZ to ride and inviting me to stay at his house in Richmond, which I naturally took up. I met Lackey, Pomeroy and had a Margarita with the Dave Aldana .The pro race was won by Little John Hateley ahead of Doug Grant and Ron Pomeroy. That event holds great memories for me.

I've got a soft spot for those RM500 Suzukis. A mate has one cocked up for dirt track, on methanol and ported by Gary Treadwell. It was one of the scariest dirt bikes I've ever ridden. He still owns it today but won't sell it. When I bought a bunch of Maicos from Karl Kramer a few years ago he offered me Anthony old Gunters RM500 for an extra $1000. I should have taken it but I was out of money. It had some trick bits bits including (I think) a set of upside down Simons forks like those on Lackeys bike. I wonder where it went?

Firko,

You are correct, that is Sand Hill Ranch.  Dick Mann, Brad Lackey and Doug Grant were in attendance both days.  It's neat walking around and chatting with those guys or just sneaking up and listening to them telling stories.

You can't see it in the photos, but even the carb is polished on the RM500.

The quality isn't good, but here's a pic of Doug Grant on his AJS
